Brexit and #NeverTrump — the losers’ edition

Probably others have already noticed this, but it suddenly flashed on me that the transnational elites’ response to the successful “Leave” vote for Brexit is precisely the same as the #NeverTrumps’ endless temper tantrums about the fact that the wrong man won. When push comes to shove, the sophisticates, whether in the EU, the Progressive Left, or the GOP, believe in democracy only when they win. Otherwise, it’s “You’re stupid and I’m not going to play with you and I’m taking my marbles and I hope you die or that the bully beats you up because you’re stupid!” Or, as The Razor says,

Some things are too important to put to a vote when that some thing is your pet project. Democracy doesn’t work when votes are cast and you lose. The meltdown of the progressive transnational elite isn’t surprising to those of us who have raised kids. It’s nothing more than a toddler laying down in the aisle of the grocery store to have a fit when you refuse to buy him a breakfast cereal sugar-bomb, just those freaking out are much older, better dressed and speak with pleasant accents. Many of these people truly believe that they know better than others, and they cannot believe that the ignorant masses ignored them to do the opposite.

The Razor is referring to the post-Brexit meltdown amongst the “Remain” supporters, but what he says applies as well to those who insist that they will not vote for Trump because their principles are so important that they’d rather see Hillary turn the Supreme Court into a Progressive playground; seize Americans’ guns; continue Obama’s refusal to acknowledge that there’s a cancer in Islam that needs to be excised before it kills us; leave us with an open, unsecured southern border; accelerate amnesty to create a permanent Progressive voting base; turn the White House into a pay-for-play scheme the likes of which no one — not even her husband — contemplated; and at all times be vulnerable to blackmail by multifarious actors such as Russian, China, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, and anyone else who wants to have a behind-the-scenes role in American politics.

When Hillary’s had her day in America, the same principles that allowed sore losers to take a stand against Trump are going to be cold comfort to them and to the rest of us.

Look, I’m as unhappy about Trump as the next actual conservative. Heck, my candidate was (and will continue to be in 2020 and 2024) Ted Cruz, the purest constitutional candidate ever to run for office. Trump, with his scattershot emotionalism and his populist stances that range from Left to Right is the antithesis of what I want in a presidential candidate — but he’s still better than Hillary. I will always put country above party.

If this election were a referendum on Donald Trump, I’d vote against him. But it’s not. It’s a choice between Trump and Hillary Clinton and, as such, I have no choice but to support — and support wholeheartedly — Mr. Trump. While I know Trump is going to do some bad things, and I fear he will do more, I have NO doubt that, as a Modern Liberal (as well as a sick and corrupt narcissist) Clinton will not only always be wrong, she will always be as wrong as wrong can be.

I don’t believe that, in his heart and whatever mishmash of ideology Trump may have, he believes that the Jews and Christians are the bad guys and the Islamic terrorists are the innocent victims. I don’t think he believes in his heart, as does Clinton, that it’s the cops who are the evil, racists murdering sweet and innocent black children because they’re murderers. I don’t believe he thinks that working hard and succeeding is proof of some kind of evil. I don’t believe Trump believes that America is an evil nation and that we need to continue to “fundamentally transform” it into some other nation.

These are CLINTON’S deeply-held ideological beliefs and they’re going to lead her to side with our enemies and against our friends, to side with Islamic terrorists and weaken and undermine Judaism (most obviously Israel), on our streets she’s going to weaken the police and embolden the murderers (see Baltimore for example) and, as a matter of policy and ideology, she’s going to empower and embolden the Islamic terrorists who now operate so effectively in places like Istanbul while, at the same time, disarming Americans and taking away our ability to defend ourselves.

The referendum on Trump ended when a plurality of fed-up conservatives and old-fashioned Democrats had it up to here and beyond with the current administration’s insanity, and wanted a politician who neither promoted the insanity (that would be a Democrat) or passively supported it (that would be the erntire GOP panoply, except for Cruz who unfortunately got swept out with the bath water).

Don’t be a Brexit whiner. It’s over. We’re stuck with Trump and need to make the best of it.

One of the best books I have read on understanding how liberals think is Evan Sayet’s “The Kindergarden of Eden- How the Modern Liberal Thinks”. A must read. Don’t underestimate Trump and it’s time to stop the defeatist ” We are stuck with Trump…….”. Do you hear ” well she really is a crook but we are stuck with her ” from liberals. Absolutely not. What was you objective when you made that remark? Nothing positive for sure. A winning strategy is accenting the positive .Never expose your underbelly to the enemy. Bad enough we have overcome a candidate who has a huge hispanic and black voting base, but we also have to overcome a biased media. Starting off in a negative tone has to stop or we have no chance.

Global warming and planned profit is just their way of going back to Utopia, their eden.

Neither Trump nor Hillary is remotely qualified morally or in any other way to be POTUS. That we are stuck with such a choice is a testament to the malevolence or ignorance of the primary voters (on both sides).

Voting for either one of them is unethical.

Same crap happened when Reagan won in 1980 and rolled into DC. Same liberals who could get their mind wrapped around the idea that there were people as smart as they who actually disagreed with them. Boris Johnson and Donald Trump may be bombastic, but they aren’t dumb.

Reagan upset the Southern Democrat lock on votes so much they got to using the Dixiecrat excuse to explain why so many Democrats went Republican there.

There is the very real possibility of a “Torricelli” which will change things. Interesting times. This election/scandal does cast a poor light on the legal guild, considering the major players.

My lack of any inner poetic spirit reduces me to the use of the hackneyed. So, I see it as throwing stuff against the wall to see what sticks or, for those of a military bent, running it up the flagpole to see who salutes it.

Basically, the Brexitophobes, like so many of their fellow travelers, must have missed out on the Chicken Little (of “The sky is falling.” infamy) fable.

NeverTrump as tag corrupt social media twitter sense, is similar to the Never Palin movement back when it wasn’t called that. They share some of the same demographics, although not quite the same.

The referendum on Trump ended when a plurality of fed-up conservatives and old-fashioned Democrats had it up to here and beyond with the current administration’s insanity, and wanted a politician who neither promoted the insanity (that would be a Democrat)

Those would be the same voters who voted Hussein, twice, and got us in this mess to begin with.

Trump was still a Democrat back then too. I blame the voters, and I never forgive those who refuse to recant their evils.

There seems to have been a loss, perhaps by design of the progressive education, as to where legitimacy lies in American and even the other Anglosphere nations. Glenn Reynolds has a draft out on military coups and America. He doesn’t even address that a coup can never be legitimized in the US as it is not against the rulers but against the People. If you have the People, then you don’t need a coup.

Here’s a good primer on why government can’t do all it is even doing, at least legitimately. Such as redistribution since where government gets its legitimacy is from the People and people do not have the legitimate authority to take from some and give to others.

It is very apropos for this weekend. Today, Friday being Canada Day and Monday being 4th of July
